Leaving the hotel, Xu Changqing pressed down a signal transmitter on his watch.

This device uses quantum entanglement technology, which can also be used for positioning while sending signals.

When the Velvet received the signal, it immediately went into action.

The crew was in position, the first mate gave orders, and they piloted the Velvet to force itself out of the dock anchor lock clamping the ship.

Subsequently, the landing channel was established independently, and the original airlock connection equipment and special access to the terminal were abandoned.

Immediately after, two groups of twelve planetary mecha suits were dispatched to trace the signal coordinates and converge with Xu Changqing and the four of them.

And Xu Changqing and the four of them had already crossed the square and entered a passage street.

The dirty streets were also crowded with people, and because they were all in a hurry, there was no order to walk on the right, and the road was almost jammed, and the invective covered everything, with the result that no one could walk.

When Xu Changqing saw this situation, he gestured in sign language, and the two bodyguards forcibly broke through the crowd to protect him and Mary from the passage and retreat to the square.

There is still a lot of commotion in the square, and people want to scold: where do you want to go? He has also seen more than one person who runs from east to west, from west to east, and then from east to west like an extras in a third-rate film and television drama.

The four of them all stood against the wall, and Xu Changqing closed his eyes slightly to recall the topographical structure of this generation.

Soon after, he led the three of them around to a corner of the square, where Mary screwed a thick lock and retreated from the half-rusted iron door, and the group of people flowed through the crowd.

Bang Dang! Mary closed the door. The two locals who secretly watched and thought it was an opportunity were locked out of the door, and after a long time, they couldn't open the heavy door, and they went to think of other ways.

In this half-abandoned maintenance passage, the four of them moved quickly, but they still ran into trouble.

It was a distorted human, his upper body distorted beyond description, and it was constantly split and forked, giving birth to tentacle-like limbs, which not only had barbs, but also sharp blades like knives at the tip.

One of the bodyguards was about to shoot, but Xu Changqing stopped him, he looked at the monster that was swinging its tentacles there like a dance for a while, took the gun from the bodyguard, signaled the others to retreat, and then shot.

The bullet seemed to have exploded something, and the corrosive glowing acid was splashed everywhere, and the monster let out a terrible and sharp scream, waving its tentacles frantically, and rushed towards Xu Changqing's side.

But when he got to the position where Xu Changqing was shooting, he didn't know how to move forward, but attacked indiscriminately from a distance.

With no vision and no hearing, Xu Changqing suspected that this thing relied on a keen energy perception organ to distinguish things.

It just so happens that the induction suits worn by the four people inside are equivalent to thin spacesuits, with first-class shielding performance.

The monster tossed for a moment, then fell silent.

The area was horrific in the area, with dents cut into the hard stone walls, potholes and rubble on the ground, pipes on the other side severed, electric sparks, and steam whirring.

It can be seen that this monster is indeed dead, its limbs are soft, and it doesn't have that tension, this kind of complete relaxation, it can't be pretended, and only when the instinctive mechanism is no longer working, will it be loose like this.

Xu Changqing took the lead, and the four of them quickly passed by his corpse.

The passage was very long, and Xu Changqing did not go all the way, but kicked a small door that was easy to miss if he was not careful.

Enter another passage through this door.

In the new passage, I heard a chaotic sound such as a miserable howl and a cry for help, which came from under my feet. This passage is a ventilation duct with shutters that can be opened and closed at the distance from the partition, and another passage street below.

Xu Changqing's strong mind came in handy at this moment, and his brain not only had the memories of all the areas that the bodyguards had personally explored, but also the topographical maps of each area obtained through trading.

It is difficult for ordinary people to organically combine the two, it is too complicated, Eros was originally a large mine system, chasing the excavators of the ore veins, regardless of the later construction plan, the entire mine system is like a labyrinth, and most of them were used later, but after several changes, a considerable part of them were abandoned, and it became more and more complicated.

The ground worm may not be able to do it, but Xu Changqing has formulated a suitable route like an old horse knowing the way.

Of course, there are downsides to this, such as meeting smart people led by real earth worms in such places.

The two sides encountered at the intersection of a passage, and there was no possibility of avoiding it at all, and the people on the other side seemed to be more nervous, all holding guns, even if they saw the situation of Xu Changqing and the four of them, they refused to relax.

Xu Changqing recognized Li Qiong in the team and his younger brother Li Yu at a glance.

The heart said that this is really where life does not meet.

But he's not Zahid now? Gess and Mary did not revert to their original appearance again, after all, her appearance was also recorded by the Federation, and once identified, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Xu Changqing looked at the calm leader opposite, he estimated that this was Yun Guanhai.

He didn't know, and he wasn't interested in knowing, which primeval-level transcendent it was.

He pointed in the direction, meaning we were going there.

Yun Guanhai made a gesture of please, and the four of them turned from the intersection under the gun's point.

Waiting for Xu Changqing and them to go away, Yun Guanhai asked the ground worm: "Where can I go there?" ”

"Docks."

Yun Guanhai snorted, didn't say anything, and signaled to the ground worm, so the team moved forward, but it was the way Xu Changqing and the four of them came.

After seven turns and eight rounds, Xu Changqing and the four of them came from a corner gate to another small square, that is, the intersection of the paths.

It was already a dead silence, full of corpses and blood, and the sounds of battle and screams and cries for help could be heard from time to time in the distance, but it was quiet.

The planetary mechs are here, two of them have corroded and damaged, and they don't look very good, and a tent made of light curtains has been set up.

Seeing Xu Changqing and the four of them, the planetary mecha suit confirmed it as soon as possible, and then turned a blind eye to it and continued to be vigilant.

The four of them entered the tent, took off their outer clothes in the outer room, and entered the inner room wearing only the induction suits, and then the four mecha suits entered, completed the cleaning in the outer room, and entered the inner room.

The four of them began to wear armor.

The inside of the induction suit and planetary mecha suit must be kept clean enough, and after the nerve connection, the sandwich space will be filled with liquid nanometal as a protective buffer layer, and this nanomachine also has a medical function, and after the user is injured, emergency treatment will be given.

After the armor was completed, Xu Changqing took over the command and went to urgently repair the two damaged mecha suits. The command and repair kit he carries is the most valuable unit in the squad.

Mary is carrying a weapon pack and is the main fireman.

The other two bodyguards are energy packs, and a strengthened energy shield, the shield is the kind of tent that looks like a thin curtain, and when it is activated, the defense is very good.

Take a short break and set off immediately, heading to the pier.

This incident, whether it was an outbreak or an intensified diffusion process, was beyond Xu Changqing's expectations.

He thought it would erupt in the depths of the city of Eros, but it turned out to be shut down and beaten, and the spread speed was very fast, and it had only been more than 40 minutes since it was launched, and it had already entered the stage of full-scale killing.

"We get out of here, and the sensitive Federation will soon be washing the ground with a nuclear bomb."

After briefly repairing the damaged mecha suit, the group headed for the dock.

Inevitably encountered a monster on the way, this monster's infection method can be called a super virus, once it enters the human body, it is immediately energized and transmitted to the whole body, and then collapses the inherent gene sequence and begins to recombine.

This process is not limited to humans, but also includes all life in the human body, parasites, viruses, and even undigested plant fibers, such as a small green leaf.

So, as if you had a rich color element to create an unrestrained abstract oil painting, the distortion began.

Almost every infected body is unique after its deformed form, and there is indeed a certain law in it, but there is little point in pursuing this law, they are killing machines, and the transformation is also irreversible, and it has nothing to do with finding the cover door.

The AI intelligence of the mecha suit does not enable it to detect the cover door of the monster, Xu Changqing can, he can find it through subtle observation, especially in the case of this kind of dust and dirt flying.

From time to time, the monster exchanges air with the outside world, that is, breathing, and will blow the floating dust to make some subtle changes, and behind this organ is the monster's cover door.

So Xu Changqing took the lead and acted as an observer, once he found a monster, he would soon find its cover door and share the information with other units, and then the battle would end in two or three seconds.

Along the way, they will also encounter some tragic events, such as ordinary people being killed by monsters, children being distorted in front of them, and the whole city being turned into a bloody playground.

They stride forward, never stopping, and they don't accept followers.

Of course, there are still people who are smarter and follow them as soon as they want.

However, they generally can't go far, infections are everywhere, unless there is protection like Xu Changqing and them, once they get a little bit, they will start to distort in more than ten seconds, and then complete the distortion in about ten seconds, and the total is no more than thirty seconds.

Even smart people can't withstand such stimulation and fright, and they will eventually choose to shrink somewhere and wait for the crisis to pass, rather than going up against the wind with Xu Changqing and them.

It is indeed a headwind, and the Starport Pier is the source, and the further you go there, the more tragic the situation becomes.

By the time it was time to arrive, the nesting had begun, and a large number of corpses had been collected and then covered in a sticky, jelly-like substance that would soon melt and become part of the substance.

At depth, the material hardens like dead coral, creating a reef-filled substance.

There is also a liquid substance circulating in the hardened species, like an undercurrent under a rock formation, which does not form a vein, but has an abundant flow.

"Shh In the midst of the strange screams, dozens of monsters appeared.

Compared to ordinary monsters, these monsters are more orderly, and their appearance is no longer random branches, but like some kind of progenitor beast with scales and feathers.

Secondary distortion. Xu Changqing guessed a possibility. "Pay attention to energy protection!"

The energy generating organ on the monster's back flashed slightly, and then it fired a high-energy ray, a bio-energy light cannon, and such a monster was almost the same as the four groups of mechas.

The two bodyguards propped up the energy curtain to protect it, and the other mechs hid behind and fired back.

The monster launched a death assault, charging while firing, it was not far away, and soon rushed to the front with desperate attrition.

Mary, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly appeared, and the weapon she wielded with her arms shot out blinding scarlet radium rays, slicing back and forth like large scissors. For a moment, corpses were all over the ground, and the smell of burnt protein feet filled the entire area.

Xu Changqing quickly scanned the battlefield, then shared the information, and the mecha suit began to replenish the gun while advancing.

Finally entered the Starport Pier area, which has been reshaped by monsters, as if it has been repackaged, and it is unrecognizable.

Xu Changqing did not follow the path newly planned by the monster, but let the mecha suit directly blast the bombs in a directional direction, blast through the walls of those nests, and advance according to the original route of the dock area.

During this period, they encountered some obstacles, but the scale was not as large as the first wave, and it was obvious that the other side was also urgently drawing combat strength, and felt very scratched about their way of opening the way forward.
